Alpine: multiple proftpd packages: security update to 1.3.9e-r0
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 478243
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:- ProFTPD before 1.3.9e and 1.3.10rc5 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the mod_rewrite
int:utf8trans RewriteMap that allows remote attackers to overwrite static buffers. Attackers can send FTP
command arguments longer than 1024 bytes, without authentication if pre-login commands are rewritten, to
corrupt session memory and crash the session. (CVE-2026-119146)
- ProFTPD before 1.3.9e and 1.3.10rc5 contains an authorization bypass in the mod_sftp copy-file extension
handler that skips Limit WRITE checks for new destination files. Authenticated SFTP users can copy any
readable file to a new path in write-denied directories, creating files where uploads are forbidden.
(CVE-2026-119147)
- ProFTPD through 1.3.9e and 1.3.10rc1 through 1.3.10rc4 contains a link-following vulnerability in mod_copy
that allows authenticated FTP users to bypass Limit WRITE restrictions via symlinks. Attackers can place a
symlink in a writable directory and use SITE COPY or SITE CPTO to overwrite files in write-denied
locations. (CVE-2026-119364)
Solution
Update the proftpd library and its related packages to version 1.3.9e-r0 or later.See Also
